[Supras] CPS Leaking on my 87t

[Rockey Fox]

There is a groove for the o-ring around the housing
barrel where it slides into the head for the o-ring on
the CPS. During the rebuild I replaced mine and the
o-ring was so brittle it broke off instead of
stretching to come off.
For the turbo to down pipe I've only had good luck
with an OEM Toyota gasket which I purchased seperately
from the gasket set I used to rebuild the engine. The
Fel-pro exhaust manifold gasket held up for a good
while but I believe the OEM Toyota gasket will last
longer.
